Anti-Immigration Conservatives Flip Out Over Trump-Dem Deal Reports

Anti-immigration conservatives flipped out over news that President Donald Trump made a deal with Democratic leaders on immigration.

Following dinner at the White House on Wednesday night, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced that Trump had agreed to legislation that would save the country’s 800,000 Dreamers from deportation. The U.S.-Mexico border wall― a central Trump campaign promise― was not part of this deal, they said.

The meeting was the result of widespread backlash over the administration’s decision earlier this month to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program created during former president Barack Obama’s administration that protects undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

In an interview with The Associated Press published on Wednesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) maintained his position that the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers was “not in our nation’s interest.”
